This week I have started working on my model by creating materials and rendering particle effects.

Once the textures were finished I added ambient and point light sources to the entire magic mirror based on the lighting of the production scene. Finally, I added shadows around the mirror. This gave the whole image a more realistic look.

After that, I started to render the whole environment.

I also started rendering my particles. As I render the quality is very high. So a picture in about 20 minutes. This also reduces my efficiency considerably. But the good thing is that the result is ok.

Next week I will start compositing some of the shots to see how the whole thing looks.
